Hi I'm Amanda, a social media consultant and trainer who loves blogging. I work with small and medium sized businesses to help them develop social media strategies that work. I really enjoy developing my marketing and social media skills. I also love cats, cycling and cakes.

Conor Keppel and Ethan Cleary from the Irish Farmers Association have just launched a new app onto the market for Farmers, iFarm takes all the core information that a farmer needs and puts it onto their phone.

This week I was delighted to get the opportunity to talk to Niall Harbison from social media agency Simply Zesty. They've been in the news recently as the business has been sold to UTV media but it looks like there will be no slowing down for Niall who as well as being one of the co-founders of Simply Zesty and working in the agency writes at least two blog posts a day.

The roll out of Facebook Timeline for pages this week sees the end of the default landing tab. But is having custom Facebook pages worth it? For some time I’d been noticing landing tabs getting more and more elaborate. People were beginning to bring their entire website onto Facebook and although this looks great I often wondered if it was functional.

At the weekend big news hit my Facebook news feed. Facebook have removed the share link from content posted via an application. This will have a huge impact on Facebook users that rely on applications like Networked Blogs or Hootsuite to post content to their wall.

The first time I encountered a Facebook page with posting guidelines for the community I assumed that it was there for legal reasons. Having had to recently deal with low level spamming on my own page, and at times being indecisive of how to deal with it, the idea of posting guidelines suddenly made sense.
